FASTCOMPANY 394 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 His plans were to go pro after this season. With these setbacks, no way he does that now: right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him deciding to come back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With these setbacks, no way he does that now: right? Still very early in the season. He could still finish with gaudy YPC stats and be in the conversation. Especially if he has big games against our remaining SEC opponents, all of whom will be much better showcases than Missouri. But if he's on the shelf for much of the remaining season due to injury, then yeah, I'm with ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability last year to press the LOS and bounce runs off the edge made him really tough for the State defense to defend. Hopefully, we can see that type of performance from him again Saturday.

Repetitive use in a potential NFL player would be poor judgement. Little doc “Your doctor may suggest corticosteroid shots if you have tried nonsurgical treatment for several weeks without success.1Shots can relieve pain, but the relief is often short-term. Also, the shots themselves can be painful, and repeated shots can damage the heel pad and the plantar fascia.” [underline mine] http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/tc/plantar-fasciitis-treatment-overview#2 Dr. Mom pointed me to this potentiality. Says breakdown of the heel pad is a lifetime pain sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Hoping the week off was precautionary and that it will pay off Saturday. 4 straight SECW games before the bye are going to be tough, for KP and the whole team. Thank goodness we got to rest the starters for the whole 4th quarter this past weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passthebiscuits 6,861 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Johnson is still receiving therapy for his hammy, but remains active for Saturday. May be nagging injury but expected to play and I would expect him to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A steroid injection, plus prednisone and cortisone tablets, along with exercises (rolling a piece of pipe,tennis ball, etc) will help tremendously. it has to be kept stretched out Right you are my friend. He needs to see my orthopedic doc here in Western NC. He is the best ortho doc I have been to. An MIT and fellow Duke MD schooler. I did not attend MIT, but did graduate way back in the day from Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he is injured he is nothing special and a liability given the talent we supposedly have recruited at the position. When he is healthy he is a productive RB. Would you be there to fight for him when he agreed with me? LOL wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's flipping awful. Just a suggestion - Stretch, stretch, and more stretching. As my chiropractor explained it to me, the problem isn't likely in your feet, it's in your hammies, glutes, quads and/or calves. I had a brutal case of it and hobbled for months. Like i was stepping on glass. He recommended some exercises that cleared it up in a week. They have a number of recommended stretches on youtube but really it was just basic stretching of all leg muscles noted 3x a day (at least 10 minutes or so each session) worked for me.
